Club rooms in the Grand Opera House 

 building. Some fine specimens of Ram- 

 bler roses, bougainvilleas and other sea- 

 sonable plants are expected. Secretary 

 Young will receive and care for all ship- 

 ments, as usual. A very interesting meet- 

 ing is promised and a large attendance 

 desired. The Bowling Club will meet at 

 the Thirtieth street alleys at 3 p. m. on 

 Monday. Matters of importance must 

 be settled at this meeting and a full 

 house la requested. 



The auction houses are well filled with 

 buyers and prices have been fairly en- 

 couraging. Hardy roses, rhododendrons 

 and evergreens form the bulk of the of- 

 ferings to date. Fruit trees and shrubs 

 are beginning to arrive and the pros- 

 pect for a long and successful season 

 seems assured the men of magnetic voice 

 and persuasive smile. 



Peter Crowe and wife, of Utica, were 

 in the city last week and have departed 

 for an outing at Old Point Comfort. 

 J. C Spencer, of Utica, was also a visi- 

 tor and spent Thursday evening teach- 

 ing the Flatbush boys how to bowl. 



The ever welcome Phil Breitmeyer, of 

 Detroit, also called to look over the 

 Easter plant supply. 



The market at Canal street has been 

 opened and from now on John Birnie 

 and his confreres will be busy until 

 Decoration day, with short intervals for 

 slumber. The market building is still a 

 ' ' dream. ' ' 



Charles Millang is handling some fine 

 Brunners from Victor Zuber, of White- 

 stone, and has arranged to sell John Mes- 

 sen's (of Newton), 20,000 cut lilies at 

 Easter. He will have his conservatory 

 and extra rooms stocked with every va- 

 riety of Easter flowering plant as usual. 



Walter Sheridan has been handling an 

 average of over 1,000 special Beauties a 

 day for some time. 



Last Thursday his brothers and friends 

 gave Jack Gunther a reception at the 

 store in honor of his recovery. 



A. J. Fellouris has returned from a 

 successful southern trip, where he visited 

 his shippers and customers. He has 

 nearly a thousand cases of galax for 

 the spring and summer secured, between 

 8,000,000 and 9,000,000 leaves. For 

 Easter he will have in addition an abun- 

 dance of arbutua, lilac and other spring 

 flowers. 



Mr. Koster, Jr., of Koster & Co., Bos- 

 koop, Holland, is in the city and will 

 return to Europe on May 10. 



Arthur Merritt is now with the 

 Rosary Co., on Thirty-fourth street. 



Eeed & Keller have bought the flo- 

 rists' supply end of Frank Netchert's 

 business and also his extensive machin- 

 ery for the manufacture of metal de- 

 signs. New York headquarters for nov- 

 elties for florists may well be claimed 

 for this enterprising firm. 



Theo. Lang bowled an average of 230 

 in five games one evening last week. 



Pankok & Schumacher, of Whitestone, 

 will build two new houses this summer. 

 They now have 15,000 square feet de- 

 voted to lilies, oranges, hydrangeas, 

 bougainvilleas and other seasonable East- 

 er plants. They will have a large 

 Stock of Hydrangea rosea next year. 

 One of their novelties is a seedling dah- 

 lia from Countess of Lonsdale and they 

 have a fine stock of Vermilion Cactus. 



The Hinode Florist Co., at Whitestone, 

 has a fine range of houses completed and 

 will build three more, 25x150, this sum- 

 mer. They have 25,000 lilies in pots that 

 promise to be in perfect shape for East- 

 er and 2,000 grand Crimson Ramblers, 

 grafted stock, compact, of fine shape, 

 also 500 hydrangeas and 4,000 hybrid 

 roses, as well as many other Easter 

 plants and Japanese novelties. The same 

 varieties fill their 17,000 square feet of 

 glass at Woodside. Plenty of land has 

 been purchased for steady yearly devel- 

 opment. 



Louis Dupuy, of Whitestone, has some 

 twenty houses stocked with Easter plants 

 as well as a fine house for daisies and 

 carnations. Queen and Prosperity. He 

 may fairly be styled the hydrangea king, 

 having thousands of plants, Hortensis in 

 all colors, azurea, rosea, Thos. Hogg 

 and Joan d'Arc. His Baby Ramblers 

 are beauties and he has a lot of them, 

 also Crimson Ramblers and Philadelphia, 

 ericas, genistas, lilacs, daisies, the whole 

 in superb condition. Mr. Dupuy has an 

 able lieutenant in his good wife and 

 has built himself one of the most con- 

 venient homes in the town, where he de- 

 lights in dispensing hospitality. 



Ghormley received 35,000 daffodils one 

 day last week from Delaware and Vir- 

 ginia. Shipments continue far beyond 



expectations and nearly every wholesaler 

 in the city has had a share of them. 



A. L. Young & Co. seem quite satis- 

 fied with the steady growth of their 

 business, which is largely conducted on 

 a cash basis. 



Retailers everywhere are in the midst 

 of Easter preparations and already the 

 windows are a charming vision. Plants 

 are being delivered daily and are selling 

 well, indicating the fulfillment of the 

 prophecy that it would be Easter every 

 day from now until the consummation, 

 still nearly three weeks distant. 



Roberts & Greenwald, on Columbus 

 avenue, have dissolved partnership, Mr. 

 Greenwald continuing the business.

The Market. 



We had very warm weather during the 

 greater portion of the past week, which 

 caused a very heavy output of flowers. 

 On several days the market was quite 

 druggy, Saturday being an exception, as 

 nearly everything cleaned out nicely. 

 The first few days of April have been 

 cold and blustery, conditions better fitted 

 for the preceding month, but with gen- 

 erally clear skies more flowers are coming 

 in than can be absorbed at this season. 



Roses have tumbled in prices heavily 

 and it is hard to give quotations on these. 

 Beauties are plentiful and quite druggy. 

 Liberty sells better, but is much lower.
